Getting monthly kidney function tests and doctor visits is already so expensive, so we cannot afford to make mistakes with food. Skip the outside junk, packed chips, and bakery items to avoid high sodium. Focus on simple ghar ka khana like lauki and turai which are easy on the pocket and the body.
Ghar pe simple badlaav karo, cook separately for the patient with very little salt and no spicy masalas. Avoid giving them high-potassium fruits like bananas or citrus fruits without checking with your doctor. Normal, home-cooked light meals are the safest and easiest way to manage this daily.
I have been dealing with kidney issues for five years now, so take my advice. You must strictly limit foods high in potassium like potatoes, tomatoes, and coconut water, and also high-protein foods if your doctor advised so. Always soak your vegetables in water for an hour before cooking to reduce potassium levels; it really works.
At this age, half the things we love to eat become our enemies, especially with kidney troubles. No more tasty pickles, papad, or heavy dairy items for me, thanks to potassium and sodium restrictions. Honestly, now my plate looks very sad, but saving my kidneys is more important than satisfying my tongue!

Actually, kidney diet is super tricky yaar, because things you think are healthy like spinach and whole grains are actually high in oxalates and phosphorus. You can't just follow random diet trends here. Just consult a proper clinical nutritionist before you make any big diet changes, otherwise it can cause issues.
